The NBA should cancel the rest of this insignificant season. Hardly anyone is paying attention anyway. Television ratings are down, the games are boring without fans in the stands and the players’ minds are obviously elsewhere. And their minds should be elsewhere, given the disturbing events in the country right now. Their famous faces and influential voices also need to be elsewhere right now, too. They should be in the communities affected most by the issues they care about. They should be knocking on the doors of politicians demanding action. They should be leading protests and giving a voice and a face to the issues. So forget about the games. We haven’t had normal games since last March anyway. We’re not even watching. Go change the world.

There will be no high school or college football in the state of Nevada this fall. Relax. It’s not the end of the world as we know it. It actually isn’t even the end of this football season as of right now. The hope is that some sort of a season can be played starting in February or March. So instead of complaining that you don’t have football to obsess about this fall you should take comfort in knowing that our student athletes’ health and safety will not be at risk.
